  • Latest version

    Version 6.1.1

    Released Oct 2, 2025 - 1.96 MB
    Works with firefox 109.0a1 and later
    Improvements:

    Simpler PDF download process
    We streamlined how PDFs are downloaded in the browser extension. Downloads now support more scenarios smoothly, reducing interruptions and giving users a more reliable experience.

    Cleaner options when adding PDFs
    We removed the outdated “Go to publisher with proxy” button to avoid confusion and keep the workflow focused on the most useful actions.

    Choose your library when saving PDFs with injected PDF button
    When adding a PDF through the “Save PDF to Papers by ReadCube” button, you can now select which library it should be saved to. This helps you stay organized when working across multiple projects.

    Bug Fixes:

    PubMed results now recognized
    Fixed an issue where the extension sometimes didn’t detect search results in PubMed. You can now seamlessly add articles from PubMed into your library again.

    Reliable Elsevier downloads
    Large PDFs from Elsevier could previously fail to download. This has been resolved, so all file sizes are supported.

    Improved Kluwer support
    We fixed several issues with downloads from Kluwer to ensure more consistent performance.

    Tooltips restored
    The tooltip for the “Open library” icon was missing in some versions. It is now back to help you quickly understand the button’s function.
